How it works
-
01
Paste the video link
Copy the link of the Hindi video (or a list of links, one per line). Shorts work too.
-
02
Choose Hindi captions
Pick Hindi (or Telugu, Tamil...) in the Captions menu next to the link box; the button above does it for you. If the video has no captions in that language, you get the next best: English, then its own language.
-
03
Download in any format
TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, JSON, CSV or Excel. The text stays in Devanagari (or Telugu, Tamil... script) exactly as YouTube has it.
Why use Free YT Bulk Transcripts
Excel shows it correctly
CSV files are saved as UTF-8, so Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers show Hindi and Telugu text properly.
Only pay for real transcripts
Videos without captions in any language are skipped and cost 0 credits.
Bulk, playlists and channels
Paste many links at once, or (on paid plans) a playlist or channel link, for whole series and news channels.
Good to know
- We download the captions YouTube has: added by the creator or generated automatically by YouTube. If a video has no captions at all, there is nothing to download yet.
- English is the default, so a video with both English and Hindi captions gives the English ones. Choose Hindi in the Captions menu (the button on this page does it for you) to always get Hindi when it exists.
- Auto-generated captions in any language can contain mistakes, especially with names, mixed Hindi-English (Hinglish) and background music.
- File names keep the video's original title, including Hindi or Telugu characters.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download the transcript of a Hindi YouTube video?
Yes, if the video has Hindi captions (added by the creator or auto-generated by YouTube). Paste the link and download the text as TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, JSON, CSV or Excel, kept in Devanagari.
Does it work for Telugu, Tamil and other Indian languages?
Yes. Whenever the video has captions in that language, we download them exactly as written, in the original script.
Will the transcript be translated into English?
No. We never translate. Pick Hindi (or another language) in the Captions menu to get that language's captions when the video has them; by default, English captions are used first.
Why does Excel show strange characters for Hindi text?
Our CSV and Excel files are saved in UTF-8 so Hindi and Telugu display correctly. If you copy text into another program, make sure it also uses UTF-8.
Do videos without captions cost credits?
No. You only use a credit for a transcript you receive. Videos without captions are marked as skipped and cost nothing.
